Malawi’s new government plans K1.2 trillion in annual local funding, but fiscal risks and past mismanagement raise concerns.
Malawi’s incoming government, led by the DPP, plans to allocate K5 billion annually to each of its 229 constituencies—totaling K1.2 trillion yearly—to decentralize development and boost local job creation.
Announced in the DPP’s September 16 manifesto, the initiative aims to empower communities to fund infrastructure, health, and education projects.
However, concerns persist over past mismanagement of similar funds like the Constituency Development Fund, prompting calls for strong accountability, performance-based funding, and independent audits.
Meanwhile, a Reserve Bank report reveals the government spent an estimated K3 trillion in just four months, raising alarms about fiscal sustainability, inflation risks, and diverted resources from key sectors.
